Brown also admitted that Texas often benefitted from their name when he was coaching the Longhorns.

They're not wrong. Texas would've been in. Thems the breaks. Build up your name so you don't get left out next time.

Mack Brown is awesome. I don't care what anyone says. Dude is great on set. My boy is learning the art of subtle trolling.

Absolutely true.

Don't know how anyone can refute this.

If you reverse the situations, do you think TCU/Baylor would have jumped Ohio State?

Helllllllll no.

It's true to an extent, but only a small reason it happened.

Because you can provide exactly zero evidence.

We'll see how "tough" that schedule was this bowl season. Good luck Big 10, I know you'll do well as always.

So you're telling me that a 1 loss Baylor/TCU (with that 1 loss being at home to a garbage Virginia Tech team) would have 100% jumped tOSU if they had a big win in a hypothetical Big 12 championship game?

Lol, I want some of what you're smoking.

This is exactly why a computer element is needed in these rankings/playoffs IMO... take out as much human bias as possible.

It's no surprise the committee went with the four strongest brand names and left the two weakest brands out...

He was spot on about the state of Texas on Cowherd a minute ago. He just came flat out and said Texas thinks they're their own country and are separatist and should be able to do everything different and get away with it.

Keep telling yourself that. No way that Ohio st. passes TCU if they were named Oklahoma or Texas. It was all about ratings and money.

You are vastly understating how big of a win that was against Wisky.

If they toss up 59 and allow zero on a 12th ranked team in a 13th game with a 3rd string QB then yes they would get in.

Underlining the parts your statement ignorantly minimizes.
